THE PRIZE CUP.

The Yankee Sl00p Volunteer Wins the SEQ
ond Race and the Prize Cup.
NEW YORK, Oct. 1.-The wind at the start
in the second race between the Volunteer
and Thistle was blowing about twenty miles
an hour. 1t maintained that velocity all
the way out, except during a period of per.
haps twenty minutes. when it let down
considerably, during which time the Thistle
people claim that they were becalmed,
while the Volunteer held the wind. Really
the contestants were equally afflicted, The
yachts rounded the outer mark like this
Volunteer, 2 hours, 26 minutes, 10 seconds
Thistle, 2 hours. Al minutes.
The boats set spinnakers coming home,
and the question as to whether the cutter
could 60 fast enough before the wind to
make up the sloop's gain in windward
work was to be decided. The Volunteer
had lead OF fully two and half miles
when the Thistle rounded and that was not
diminished very much on the run. The
Thistle was first to take in her spinnaker,
but the Volunteer followed suit Immediate
ly. This move was occasioned by the fact
that neither boat could make the Iightshlp
with the wind aft, AID haul was neces-
sary.
In the run home the wind let up as we'll.
1t dropped to ten miles an hour. The
steamboats, had much trouble in getting
back to the finish line on time to see the
Volunteer successfully defend Americas
cup, rs most of them had waited to see the
Thistle round the outer mark, and that do
tanned them fifteen minutes, but once IN
derway for home they maintained a jolly
speed, and leaving the Thistle far astern,
tnet got there In time to see the American
sloop cross the line q winner by II
minutes 1917 seconds.

over the Stxte, no discord Of any kind b.
ing reported.
In Nashville and Davidson County It was
the most remarkable election ever held.
The feature was the presence OF ladies NJ
the polls working and pleading with voters
to cast their ballot for The amendment
Lunches with hot coffee were set at all the
polling places. and Whenever man present
cd himself to vote the Anti ticket be was sur
rounded BY the ladies, argued with and,
if very stubborn, prayed for and RECALLED
with sacred songs. Such . sight was
never witnessed before in Nashville The
voters showed universal respect for the
ladies and there is no doubt that to thor
presence is due the cutting down OF the
Anti majority in this county. In the sixth
ward in this city the Ants rallied their
forces early and were voting in solid
platoons of from five to fifty. The prohibi-
ton men were discouraged to the degree
hat they deserted the polls. Then the
ladies rallied, sent out for reinforcements
Of their sex and bravely stood in the
breach, pleading and praying with voters
until the polls closed. Even those nascu-
lines who deprecate participation in politics
by women were forced to admire the
bravery displayed by the ladies Of Nash
vile yesterday.
Returns arc incomplete. The American
has figures which indicate that the amend
ment has been defeated by from 10000 tC
